Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0651233A1] An integrated optical system (10) illuminates an ultraviolet spatial detector (12) with an image (24) from a field of interest. The ultraviolet spatial detector (12) is comprised of an electron multiplying microchannel plate (39) and a 100 pixel discrete anode array (40) using a high strip current microchannel plate. The discrete anode array (40) preserves the spatial distribution of the image (12). The ultraviolet spatial sensor (12) has a wide field of view. The ultraviolet spatial detector (12) has a photon counting sensor (18) capable of detecting ultraviolet sources to determine their position to within plus or minus 4.5 degrees. <IMAGE>
